I remember getting to the cinema early for Dick Tracy, expecting there to be a lineup like there was for Batman the previous year. There ... wansn't. But boy do I love that Madonna album!

On behalf of @jimmykimmel.com Thank you, Jimmy.

I want to take a moment to sincerely apologize for my insensitive words on the air this week, at a time when the tension in this country is so high. Specifically, when I said, and I quote, “If I see a Black pilot, I'm going to be like, 'Boy, I hope he's qualified.'

There were 71 episodes of Muppet Babies between 2018 and 2021 on Disney Jr. Must've done something right to last that much longer than The Muppets on ABC.

I was watching A Quiet Place: Day One on Netflix and, aside from making the case for Lupita Nyong'o as my favourite living actor, it reminded me of your thoughts on silent retreats and I'm thinking this series' premise must be the most terrifying idea in the world for you?

I'm glad Sinners was a huge hit, but no, an R-rated horror movie is not four-quadrant. It was for adults, not young children.

It's great that it's popular! And Netflix paid enough for it, it was profitable before it streamed. But streaming in itself brought no profits. And the brief theatrical window brought in ... nearly as much as Sony had already profited ($20M), but nowhere near enough to fund another original.
